1' all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, EZRA T. HAZELTINE and JOHN JACOB BENzINo, both ofWarren,

in the county of Warren and State of Pennsylvania, together with FRANKA. WELD, of Stanton, in the county of Stanton and State of Nebraska,have invented anew and Improved Hand Pasting-Machine, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of our invention is to provide a new and improved machine forpasting to: gether the sheets forming a pamphlet.

The invention consists in a pasting-machine constructed with a slidingtable and with a swinging paste-box provided with a disk fordistributing paste on a line across sheets held on the sliding table;The sliding table is provided with a cam-ridge for raising the pasteboxduring the movement of the table in one direction, and with aspring-standard for holding the paste-box raised, so that the sheets canpass under it during the movementpf the- 0 in which similar letters ofreference indicate corresponding parts in all'the figures.

Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of our improved handpasting-machine on the line at x of Fig. 4. Fig. 2is a cross-sec- 3 5tional elevation of the same on the line y y of Fig. 4. Fig. 3 is a sideview of the paste-box, partsbeing shown'in section. Fig. 4 is a planview of the machine.

A table,-A, is held to slide on a base-board,

40 B, the said base-board being provided in its sides with grooves forreceiving the side edges of the sliding table A. The sliding tableisprovided at its front end with a transverse undercut piece, A. Twostandards, 0, project 5 upward from the sides of the baseboard, and inthe upper ends of the said standards a transverse shaft, D, is held, andon the said shaft D a loose sleeve, E, is mounted, which is providedwith a binding-screw, F, for holding it in place. On the sleeveE arocking block, G,

-is mounted, which is provided with a segmental slot, I, through whichthe screw F passes, thus permitting the screw F to limit the rockingmovements of the said block. On the said rocking block G a plate, H, isheld by screws H, which plate projects slightly upward and toward therear, and to the front of the block G a downwardly-inclined arm, J, isfastened, on the lower end of which a pastecup, K, is secured, which isprovided in its bottom with a longitudinal slot, L. In two arms, M,projecting downward from the bottom of the cup K, a disk, N, isjournaled in such a manner that its edge passes into the slot L, butdoes not project above the top surface of the bottom of the said pastebox or cup. The edge of the disk Nis preferably serrated.

An inclined gutter or trough, O, is provided with a screw-threaded stem,P, projecting from the innerend at one side, which stem passes throughasuitable guide-casing, P, on the under side of the box K, and the saidstem is screwed through a nut, Q, held to revolve in a plate, Q, held onthe front of the box. The 7 5 gutter is provided at its inner end with aslot, through which part of the disk N- can pass.

On that end of the sliding table A opposite the one provided with thehandle-piece A an upright spring, R, is secured, which is bent downwardat its upper end, R, in such a manner that the free end of the plate Hwill be higher from the surface of the table A when the disk N rests onthe sheets on the table than the free end of the spring It. Plus Sproject upward from the table at each side for facilitating theadjustment of the sheets.

On the upper surface of the table, and near the end provided with theupright spring, R, a cam ridge or projection, T, is arranged in'such amanner that it can strike against one of the arms M of the paste box orcup when the said table A is reeiprocated. The cam-ridge T is preferablyheld in such a manner that it can be adjusted according to the width ofthe pa- 95 per and to correspond with the adjustment of the sleeve E.

The operation is as follows: The sliding table A is drawn in thedirection of the arrow at as far as possible, whereby the cam-ridge T[00 is passed under one of the arms M, or under the shaft of the disk N,and raises the same so high that the bottom of the said disk will beabove the uppermost sheet, IV, placed on the perfluous mucilage or otherpaste.

table. The spring-standard R will then be near the shaft D, and the freeend of the said spring R will be directly over the plate H. A sheet, W,is then placed on the table A, or on the other sheets, in such a mannerthat the registering holes in the said sheet are above the pins S, whichpass into the said holes. The table A is movedin the inverse directionof the arrow a, thus causing the spring-standard R, which slides alongthe plate H, to press down the free end ofthe plate H, thereby raisingthe paste cup or box and its disk, and the disk N will be carried overthe sheets without coming in contact with the same or distributing anypaste on the said sheets. When the springstandard R passes the free endof the plate H, the said plate is released and the paste-cup drops ofits own weight, thus causing the rim of the disk N to rest on theuppermost sheet, W. If, then, the table is again moved in the directionof the arrow a, the disk N will run over the uppermost sheet and deposita line of paste on the middle of the same. When the disk arrives at theend of the sheet, the camridge T strikes one of the arms M on the shaftof the disk N, and raises the said disk and the paste-cup, so as toprevent the paste from being distributed onthe table. The free end ofthe spring R then snaps on the plate H, and if the table A is moved inthe inverse direction of the arrow at the spring holds the disk Nraised, in the manner previously described, and so on.

The scraper or trough 0, through which the edge of the disk passes,scrapes off all the su- By means of the nut Q and the screw P thescraper, gutter, or trough can be arranged to scrape off more or less ofthe paste or mucilage. As the rim of the disk N does not project abovethe upper surface of the bottom of the paste-box, and as the rim of thedisk fits quite closely in the slot L, the rim of the disk only willcarry the mucilage or paste from the box, and no mucilage or paste willadhere to the sides of the disk.

The above described machine gums the pages in a straight line along thecenter, and in order to form the pamphlet all that is necessary is togum a sheet in the manner described, place another one on it, gum thesecond sheet, and so on, and when a sufficient number of sheets havebeen united the completed pamphlet is removed.

The paste-distributing device can be adjusted according to the length ofthe pamphlet.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. A pasting-machine constructed, substantially as herein shown anddescribed, with a sliding table and with a pivoted paste-box providedwith a disk for distributing the paste on a line across the sheet placedon the table, as set forth.

2. A pasting-machine constructed with a swinging pastebox provided witha paste-dis tributing disk, and with a spring acting upon a plate of thepaste-box for holding the pasteboX and its disk raised when the sheet ispassed under it in one direction, said paste-box being lowered bygravity when the sheet passes in the inverse direction, substantially asherein shown and described.

3. In a pasting-machine, the combination, with a swinging paste-box anda distributingdisk, of a sliding table for carrying the sheets, and aspring-standard secured on the said table and adapted to hold thepaste-box and its disk raised, substantially as herein shown anddescribed.
